You shouldn't see major production impact. You are basically transferring the Vlan information from vlan.dat to the running configuration. One thing to keep in mind, if you have a switch acting as client on that domain and change every single switch to transparent, the client will lose its vlan information once rebooted.

With that said, it's best practice to make any changes in the network within a maintenance window which is done during non-business hours.

Thank you Edison.. another question.. There is no need to 'reboot' the switches after changing the role from Server--> Transperant.. right..? Also any client also from client---> Transperant(do not see any cleints though) - no reboot necessary..correct..?
